摘　　要：Background Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia （PKD） is characterized by recurrent brief episodes of chorea and dystonia induced by sudden movement. Whether the central nervous system is hyper- or hypoexcitable in PKD remains undetermined. The aim of our study was to compare the somatosensory evoked potential （SEP） recovery cycle, a marker of somatosensory system excitability, in PKD patients and controls.Background Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia （PKD） is characterized by recurrent brief episodes of chorea and dystonia induced by sudden movement.
